Editions of Office 2003 4228c01.qxd 12/10/03 11:38 AM Page 1 Chapter 1 What’s New in Office 2003 If you’ve used previous versions of Office, and your office is upgrading or thinking of upgrading to Office 2003, one of your first concerns is probably, “What’s the difference between the newest version and the version I’ve been using?”The purpose of this chapter is to try to answer that question. We say “try” because the answer depends on which previous version of Office we’re talking about. If you’ve been using Office 97, you’ll find that the differences between it and Office 2003 are major and number in the hundreds. If you’ve been using Office XP, you’ll discover the differences are not extensive and are more on the order of evolutions. Nevertheless, the information in this chapter is intended to point you to areas of change and improvement and give you a running jump as you start to use this latest version of the Office suite of applications. ◆ Editions of Office 2003 ◆ New features that span applications ◆ What’s new in Word 2003 ◆ What’s new in Excel 2003 ◆ What’s new in PowerPoint 2003 ◆ What’s new in Access 2003 ◆ What’s new in Outlook 2003 COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Editions of Office 2003 Office 2003 is available in several editions.

In this section, let’s take a look at new features common to all applications in Office 2003. New Look and Feel If you’ve been using Windows XP, the new colors and the fresh design of the applications in Office 2003 will seem familiar. Not only has Microsoft continued its practice of integrating functionality, it has also integrated the look and the feel, which is evident in a better use of screen space and more efficient ways to move between tasks. Support for Tablet PCs Even if you don’t own one, you’ve no doubt seen tablet PCs if you’ve signed for a UPS package. A tablet PC is a computer that runs Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, and you can write directly on the screen using a tablet pen. You can run Word 2003, PowerPoint 2003, and Excel 2003 on a tablet PC, and if you are using Word 2003 as your e-mail editor, you can run Outlook 2003. Using a tablet pen, you can now compose e-mail messages, make notes on a slide, edit a document, draft slides, and so on—in your own handwriting. The Research Pane Often when you are creating or modifying a document, you need to verify information, get additional information, find specific facts, and so on. Nowadays, this is often as simple and quick as connecting to the Internet and your favorite search tool. With Word 2003, Excel 2003, PowerPoint 2003, and Outlook 2003, you can do this research even quicker. Using the new Research Pane, you can access an encyclopedia, a search tool, a dictionary, a thesaurus, a data bank, and on and on without leaving the application. To display the Research Pane, as shown in Figure 1.1, choose Tools ➢ Research. By default, you can search several thesauruses in several languages and translate between English, French, and Spanish. Figure 1.1 The Research Pane 4228c01.qxd 12/10/03 11:38 AM Page 5 NEW FEATURES THAT SPAN APPLICATIONS 5 To add research tools, follow these steps: 1. Click Research Options to open the Research Options dialog box (see Figure 1.2) Figure 1.2 Adding research services 2. Click Add Services to open the Add Services dialog box. 3. In the Address field, enter the URL of the service, and click OK. 4. Click OK again in the Research Options dialog box. Now, when you want to do research, simply open the Research Pane, enter your criteria in the Search For box, and press Enter. Windows SharePoint Services Windows SharePoint Services is a site on which you can create a Document Workspace site and use it to collaborate on documents using Word 2003, Excel 2003, PowerPoint 2003, or Visio 2003. When you open a document locally, the Office application gets updates from the Document Workspace site. You can then decide whether to incorporate those updates. For detailed information about SharePoint Services and how to use it, see Chapter 8, “Collaborating on Documents.” Support for XML Extracting information from a document that was created for one purpose and using it for another purpose is a necessary task in today’s fast-paced business environment. What you are actually doing in this process is separating a document’s content from its format. In Word 2003, Excel 2003, and Access 2003, you can do this by saving the document in XML (Extensible Markup Language). Originally developed for the Web, XML is now used for myriad business purposes ranging from page layout applications to messaging systems to business-to-business data exchanges. Excel 2003, Access 2003, and Word 2003 all contain vast improvements in XML support. How- ever, many of these improvements are available only in Microsoft Office 2003 Professional Edition 4228c01.qxd 12/10/03 11:38 AM Page 6 6 Chapter 1 WHAT’S NEW IN OFFICE 2003 or the stand-alone version of Word 2003. In the “What’s New in Word 2003” section of this chap- ter, we’ll look at how to save Word documents in XML, one of the improvements available in all ver- sions of Word 2003. Information Rights Management In Office 2003, Information Rights Management (IRM) is a feature that you can use to protect documents. You can assign levels of access and expiration dates, create permission policies, remove restricted permissions, and so on. For details about how to use this feature to prevent documents of all kinds from falling into unauthorized hands, see Chapter 12, “Securing and Organizing Documents.” What’s New in Word 2003 Even if you frequently work in Word all day long, you probably will never use every single feature that Word provides. If you’re like most of us, though, you do use certain features repeatedly, and you’ve even occasionally wished for a feature that wasn’t available. Perhaps you’ll find it among the new technologies in Word 2003. Reading Layout View Increasingly, we get most of our information by reading it on the computer screen—e-mail messages, e-mail attachments, documents of all sorts, web pages, e-books, and so on. A new view in Word 2003 is designed expressly for the purpose of reading on-screen. Figure 1.3 shows a couple of pages from this book in Reading Layout view. Just above the docu- ment window is the Reading Layout toolbar. To view two screens at a time, click the Allow Multiple Pages button. To display a panel of thumbnails of the document screens, click the Thumbnails button.

  • Microsoft Office
    Microsoft Office MICROSOFT OFFICE INTRODUCTION Microsoft Office is an office suite of desktop applications, servers and services for the Microsoft Windows and OS X operating systems. It was first announced by Bill Gates of Microsoft on August 1, 1988 at COMDEX in Las Vegas. Initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications, the first version of Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint. Over the years, Office applications have grown substantially closer with shared features such as a common spell checker, OLEdata integration and Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office as a development platform for line-of-business software under the Office Business Applications brand. On 10 July 2012, Softpedia reported that Office is used by over a billion people worldwide. The current versions are Office 2013 for Windows, released on October 11, 2012; and Office 2011 for OS X, released October 26, 2010 On 24 October 2012, the RTM final code of Office 2013 Professional Plus was released to TechNet and MSDN subscribers for download. On 15 November 2012, the 60-day trial version of Office 2013 Professional Plus was released for download. All devices running Windows Phone and Windows RT come pre-installed with Office Mobile and Office RT, respectively. Office Mobile is also available for Android phones and the iPhone. A version of Office for the iPad was launched in March 2014. A web-based version of Office called Office Online, is also available COMPONENTS Word Microsoft Word is a word processor and was previously considered the main program in Office.
